I have some questions about the starter With Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs will sign a player that one of their division rivals just cut. Samaje Perine is on the way to Kansas City.

The veteran running back, whom the Broncos released after a failed trade, will be added to the Chiefs’ active roster, report Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Perine will Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Rookie UDFA Carson Steele in the Kansas City squad.

This gives Patrick Mahomes is an interesting option. The Chiefs drafted Edwards-Helaire as a dynamic weapon, with the 5-foot-7 running back showing outstanding ability as a receiver at LSU. The former first-round pick failed to fulfill his draft slot and struggled with consistency during his injury-plagued rookie contract period. Kansas City re-signed Edwards-Helaire, but Pacheco – a former seventh-round pick – has emerged as the clear RB1.

Perine, 29 years old, will be born on September 16 Jerick McKinnon. The Chiefs had signed three one-year deals with McKinnon, who rebounded from two seasons out to become a reliable performer in Kansas City – especially through the air. The 10-year veteran is now 32, and the Chiefs have rejuvenated themselves somewhat with the signing of Perine.

Perine had his best passing performance in Denver, totaling 455 yards on 50 catches last season. He played a key role in the Broncos’ five-game midseason winning streak, which included an upset win over the Chiefs, but Denver couldn’t find a spot on its roster this year. The Broncos had given Perine a two-year contract, but then they signed Audric Estime. in Round 5. The Notre Dame graduate joined starter Javonte Williams and UDFA’s Jaleel McLaughlin and Blake Watson in the Broncos’ 53-man roster.
